EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Classic Minerals Limited to be held at the Ibis Perth, Sugar Room, 334 Murray Street at 11.00am WST on Friday, 9 December 2022.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting (of which this Explanatory Statement forms a part).

1. Resolutions 1 to 13 - Ratification of prior issues of Securities

1.1 Background

During October - December 2022, the Company issued 100,103,569 Securities without disclosure to investors and/or creditors under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act. The investors and creditors were not related parties of the Company. The Company had sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for all the issues of Securities.

1.2 Corporations Act

None of the allottees the subject of Resolutions 1 to 13, in conjunction with any of their associates, hold, either before, during, or after any of the issues the subject of Resolutions 1 to13, more than 20% of the issued capital of the Company.

1.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Resolutions 1 to 13 seek Shareholder ratification of issues of Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (assuming prior approval has been obtained) limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 25% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issues of Equity Securities to investors and creditors referred to above do not fit within any of these exceptions and, as those issues have not yet been approved by shareholders, they effectively use up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the dates of the issues of Equity Securities.

Listing rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable) and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under those rules.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolutions 1 to 13 seek Shareholder approval for the issues of Equity Securities to investors and creditors under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If each of Resolutions 1 to 13 is passed, the issues of Equity Securities to investors and creditors will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12month period following the issues of Equity Securities to investors and creditors.

If any of Resolutions 1 to 13 is not passed, the Equity Securities issued in respect of that Resolution will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12month period following the date of that issue of Equity Securities.

Relevant information for the purposes of the Listing Rules is provided at section 1.4 below.

The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 to 13.

1.5 Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in respect of each of Resolutions 1 to 13 .


Page | 11

2. Resolution 14 – Approval to Issue Convertible Notes

2.1

Background

Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Convertible Notes to raise up to $5.5 million ( Convertible Notes ).

The Convertible Notes are convertible into Shares and free attaching Options on the basis of one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares issued on conversion.

2.2

Requirement for shareholder approval

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period. Convertible Notes are Equity Securities for the purposes of the Listing Rules. The issue of the Convertible Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions.

Whilst the Convertible Notes could be issued using the Company’s 15% capacity, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the Convertible Notes under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the issue of the Convertible Notes can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 14 is not passed, the Company will not issue any Convertible Notes and will seek funding from alternative sources.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14.

2.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issues of Securities

Pursuant Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 14:

  • (a) the Convertible Notes will be issued to investors selected by Still Capital, in consultation with the Company, based on their status as professional, experienced or sophisticated investors under section 708A of the Corporations Act and in accordance with their risk profiles and experience dealing in speculative investments in the resource exploration sector. None of the investors are related parties of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Convertible Notes to be issued is 1,100. The maximum number of Shares ( Conversion Shares ) and Conversion Options which may be issued on conversion of Convertible Notes is dependent on the price at which Convertible Notes are converted ( Conversion Price ) – see Section 2.3(f) below;

  • (c) the Conversion Shares, and Shares issued on exercise of Conversion Options, will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Convertible Notes will be issued on a date which will be not more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (e) the face value of each Convertible Note is $5,000;

  • (f) the Conversion Price is the lesser of:

  • (i) $0.017 per Share; and

  • (ii) a 20% discount to the 15-day VWAP of Shares as at the day immediately preceding the date on which the Convertible Note(s) is/are converted.


Page | 12

Based on the above metrics, the maximum number of Securities that may be issued on conversion of Convertible Notes is as follows:

Conversion Price Conversion Shares Conversion Options
$0.017 323,529,412 161,764,706
$0.009 611,111,111 305,555,556
$0.0045 1,222,222,222 611,111,111

The Directors note that, as there is no floor to the Conversion Price, the issue of Conversion Shares could be highly dilutive if the market price of Shares falls substantially below the current market price over the period between when the Convertible Notes are issued and when they are converted;

  • (g) the funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used for the development of mining activities at the Company’s Kat Gap gold project; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

3. Resolution 15 – Approval to Issue Advisor Options to Still Capital

3.1

Background

On 13 December 2022, the Company entered into a mandate agreement with Still Capital, pursuant to which Still Capital agreed to arrange the placement of up to 1,100 Convertible Notes to raise up to $5,500,000 ( Mandate ).

Under the Mandate, as consideration for Still Capital’s services, the Company has agreed to pay the following fees:

  • Sign on fee - $100,000 to cover shareholder management, documentation drafting and associated development costs and expenses to be paid post completion of the issue of Convertible Notes;

  • Success fee – 30 million Advisor Options on completion of the issue of the Convertible Notes ; and

  • Capital raising fee - 6% (plus GST) of the total funds received under the placement of the Convertible Notes .

Resolution 15 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Advisor Options to Still Capital as a success fee.

3.2 Requirement for shareholder approval

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issue of the Advisor Options does not fit within any of these exceptions.

Whilst the Advisor Options could be issued using the Company’s 15% capacity, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the Advisor Options under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 15 is passed, the issue of the Advisor Options can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in listing rule 7.1.

_________________________ Page | 13

If Resolutions 15 is not passed, the Company will not issue any Advisor Options and the Company will pay Still Capital a cash equivalent (based on an independently-assessed value of the Advisor Options).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issues of Securities

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 15:

  • (a) the Advisor Options will be issued to Still Capital (or its nominees):

  • (b) the maximum number of Advisor Options to be issued is 30,000,000;

  • (c) the Advisor Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;

  • (d) Shares issued on exercise of Advisor Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the Advisor Options will be issued on a date which will be not more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (f) no funds will be received from the issue of the Advisor Options as they are to be issued as a success fee for advisory services provided by Still Capital under the Mandate. If all Advisor Options are exercised, the maximum amount the Company will raise will be $750,000 in fresh capital; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4. Resolution 16 and 17 – Approval to issue Securities to LDA Capital

4.1

Background

On 15 December 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with LDA Capital, pursuant to which the Company secured the right to require LDA Capital to subscribe for up $15 million in new Shares by way of the Company exercising put options ( Put Option Agreement ).

The Put Option Agreement will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Shares to LDA Capital over the next three years at the Company’s discretion and to receive funds for the issue of those Shares.

Under the terms of the Put Option Agreement (see the Company’s announcement to ASX dated 15 December 2022), the Company is required to issue to LDA Capital 59,614,678 LDA Options.

Resolution 16 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares to LDA Capital ( LDA Shares ) to provide funding for development of the Company’s Kat Gap gold project.

Resolution 17 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of LDA Options as a fee.

4.2

Requirement for shareholder approval

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary Securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The issue of the LDA Shares and LDA Options (together, LDA Securities ) does not fit within any of these exceptions.

Whilst the LDA Securities could be issued using the Company’s 15% capacity, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the LDA Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

_________________________ Page | 14

If Resolutions 16 and 17 are passed, the issue of the LDA Securities can proceed without using up any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in listing rule 7.1.

If Resolution 16 is not passed, the Company will not issue the LDA Shares and will explore alternative sources of funding.

If Resolution 17 is not passed, the Company will not issue any LDA Options and the Company will pay LDA Capital a cash equivalent (based on an independently-assessed value of the LDA Options).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 16 and 17.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 for the approval of issues of LDA Securities

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolutions 16 and 17:

  • (a) the LDA Securities will be issued to LDA Capital (or its nominee);

  • (b) the maximum number of:

  • (i) LDA Shares to be issued is 300,000,000; and

  • (ii) LDA Options to be issued is 59,614,678;

  • (c) the LDA Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;

  • (d) LDA Shares, and Shares issued on exercise of LDA Options, will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the LDA Securities will be issued on a date which will be not more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (f) the amount of funds that will be received on issue of the LDA Shares will be dependent on the issue price, being 90% of the 30-day VWAP of shares as at the date immediately prior to the Company issuing a put option notice ( Issue Price ). As examples:

Issue Price Amount raised
$0.012 $3,600,000
$0.010 $3,000,000
$0.008 $2,400,000
  • (g) no funds will be received from the issue of the LDA Options as they are to be issued as a fee under the Put Option Agreement. If all LDA Options are exercised, the maximum amount the Company will raise will be approx. $1,490,000 in fresh capital; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
